Gab turns 4 years old
Gab turns four! Gone are the years for Gab as a terrible three and a terrible two but I think there should be an equiavalent for four year olds. This is Gab at Four. Gab weighs 14 kilos.

Is it dirty Gab?
Kids love ice cream. But what about dirty ice cream? When Gab was first offered some dirty ice cream by her aunt, he declined to buy one from the sorbetero. We were not around at that time so we were not able to know why. Probably because it has the name dirty on it. The … Continue reading Is it dirty Gab?

A Birthday Without a Cake is a No-No
After the romantic breakfast I prepared for Quennie's birthday, we told Gab it was Mommy's birthday. However, Gab won't believe us. He still thinks it was Tita Weng's birthday who celebrated it a few weeks ago. To Gab, something was missing that he can't call it Mommy's birthday yet. "Who's birthday is it, Gab?" We … Continue reading A Birthday Without a Cake is a No-No
Why I Hate Number 20
It was a delight when Gab started to recognize numbers. He can identify the numerals 0 to 9 and eventually able to count from 1 to 10. We let him read numbers almost everyday thus he is able to master them at an early age. I should be happy but things changed when he learned … Continue reading Why I Hate Number 20
